John D. Rockefeller:Random Reminiscences of Men and Events, Excerpt 19

John D. Rockefeller《Random Reminiscences of Men and Events》· Chapter I · Leadership

But I fear I am telling too much about banks and money and business. I know of nothing more despicable and pathetic than a man who devotes all the waking hours of the day to making money for money's sake. If I were forty years younger, I should like to go into business again, for the association with interesting and quick-minded men was always a great pleasure. But I have no dearth of interests to fill my days, and so long as I live I expect to go on and develop the plans which have been my inspiration for a lifetime.
